Mako shark

 

Also is known as the blue pointer or bonito shark, the mako shark is one of the fastest sharks in the ocean. It can swim up to 96 kilometres per hour - as fast as a car driving on the motorway! It can be found all over the world in temperate (cold and warm) waters, including New Zealand.

Great white shark

 

A great white shark, or mangō taniwha in Māori is a large shark that lives in warm seas. The great white is known for its size, and can grow up to 6.1 metres in length. It became famous as the shark in the movie ‘Jaws,’ but it doesn’t naturally eat humans. It is more likely to snack on fish, dolphins, seals, and sea turtles instead.
